"Eldest sister, you've come!"
One moment he was warning her with a cold look, the next he was all smiles as he came up to her, grabbed her hand and shook it. Qin Zhaoqiong nodded blankly.
"Third sister, fourth sister, Xiao Jiu, come in quickly."
Let's leave aside the matter of her illness. After all, Qin Zhaoyue would cause trouble from time to time, so what kind of nonsense is it to use illness as an excuse not to enter the palace?
Qin Zhaoqiong didn't intend to reveal anything, as any leak of information would be bad for her sixth sister.
After everyone sat comfortably in the hall and exchanged a few pleasantries, they got to the main point of the trip: their eldest sister and second brother had been granted the title of prince.
Qin Zhaoyue feigned surprise and offered her congratulations, but secretly observed her third and fourth sisters' reactions and couldn't detect anything unusual.

Moreover, with the autumn harvest approaching, it is customary to strengthen attention to the border at this time.
Both men held the title of military supervisor, which seemed fair and reasonable.
But Qin Zhaoyue didn't know that her old mother was prone to hiding secret decrees, and who knew what kind of decree the accompanying guards might be carrying.
"Eldest sister, you've really worked hard. You haven't had a chance to rest since you got back."
Qin Zhaoqiong waved her hand.
"I'm alright, the second half of the journey in Bailu County wasn't too tiring."
